In a pure white system space, Lu Zhou faced the empty inventory, very quietly in a daze.

He arrived here about an hour ago, after reading Vera's diagnosis. He didn't know why he was here, but his instincts told him that this might be the only place that could save her.

Terminal cancer......

At least as far as Lu Zhou knows, except for misdiagnosis, he has never heard of a precedent for a cure.

However, I believe that for the future people, or the biotechnology of advanced civilization, only cancer cells should not be a problem at all.

However, the situation is clearly not as rosy as he imagined.

Nitrogen shield?

It's definitely not going to work.

Energy Elixir?

What she needs now is to have a good rest, not to wake up and write a suicide note.

There are a few memory enhancement pills left......

But this obviously doesn't work.

Painted eggshell?

When he saw the colorful round egg lying alone in the inventory, Lu Zhou himself almost laughed.

This thing was a joke, the most insincere thing he'd ever pulled from the system......

Well, only one of them.

Turning off the inventory in a complicated mood, looking at the cold attribute panel, Lu Zhou fell silent.

Generally speaking, the survival time of patients with advanced lung cancer is only 3-12 months, and how long they can live depends on the cancer cells' own ideas.

Of course, if the patient has a good physical foundation and actively cooperates with the treatment, the post-care is very good, and the survival period will be extended accordingly, and there are clinical cases of advanced lung cancer survival of more than seven years.

But even then, it's only been seven years.

And the pain of chemotherapy that needs to be experienced in this is even more life-threatening to death.

If you look at this factor, her father may be right.

It is better to die than to live, it is better to end the suffering early.

It's just that his motives aren't so noble......

Turning off the useless inventory, Lu Zhou's consciousness returned to the real world.

Facing the ceiling of an unfamiliar hotel room, he took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

He will do what he has said.

Even if the system can't do anything......

He's going to wake her up, too!

……

The door opened, and Lu Zhou walked out of the room.

Looking at Wang Peng, who was standing in the corridor and had returned from the hospital, he asked.

"Is the problem serious?"

Wang Peng: "What do you mean?" ”

Lu Zhou: "Hitting people." ”

Wang Peng smiled and said, "That's a trivial matter. ”

Lu Zhou: "What about the Ukrainian named Ilyich?" ”

Wang Peng: "I was warned by the FSB and left, and when I left, I said that I would sue you, but I feel that there is a lot of bluffing." ”

That doesn't seem like a big deal.

Lu Zhou nodded and stretched out his right hand.

"Lend me the phone."

Wang Peng knew what Lu Zhou wanted, and took out the brick mobile phone from the inner pocket of his coat that the Russian named Masim gave him when he got off the plane.

After receiving the phone, Lu Zhou pressed the dial button and called the phone directly.

The phone rang three times, and it was quickly connected, and English with a snap of tongue pronunciation came from the other end of the phone.

"What's the matter with calling me so soon?"

Lu Zhou: "Do me a favor." ”

Massim: "Solve the problem of the hospital? ”

Lu Zhou: "...... Did you guess that? ”

Masim: "Of course, we have arranged for the best hospital in Moscow, and we will start transferring her as soon as her condition is stable." ”

Is this favor the return of the nuclear power plant?

It is said that according to his speculation, the FSB people really went to investigate the Russian power grid system in Eastern Europe, and really found malicious code implanted by unknown people in the system, and it is said that it has been lurking for a long time.

Anyway, it's good to have someone to help.

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued to speak: "Since you are so enthusiastic, then help to the end." ”

Hearing Lu Zhou's words, Massim was slightly stunned, frowned and said, "What do you want to do...... Even if it is the best hospital in Moscow, we can only say that we can try to control her condition, reduce her pain as much as possible, and completely cure it, let alone Russia, even the United States, which is the most advanced cancer treatment, cannot do better. ”

If it's early, it's okay to say, and even in the middle of it, there is still salvation.

But late ......

This is an academic problem faced by the global medical community, and it cannot be solved by a single hospital.

"Don't worry, I didn't ask you to cure her," Lu Zhou took a deep breath and said, "When her condition is stabilized, help me transfer her to Shangjing." ”

Massim: "Transfer to Shangjing?" ”

Lu Zhou, who was holding the phone, nodded.

"Well, I'll figure it out."

……

The briefing continues.

But the atmosphere was somewhat overcast.

Especially in the few sessions after Vera's presentation, the speakers were a little absent-minded, and the listeners were not on the report meeting, and when it was lunch time, people could hear people discussing this matter everywhere in the cafeteria.

"Have you heard what is wrong with her?"

"It's said to be leukemia."

"Leukemia? Does leukemia vomit blood? What I heard about was stomach cancer...... And it's late! ”

"Really?"

"I don't know, but I've only heard that Professor Shigefumi Mori almost got into a fight with her father at the hospital because her father wanted her to give up the treatment and swallow the $15,000 bonus."

"God, for the $15,000 prize...... Is this a human thing? If it were Miss Vera Puuy, she would have been earning more than $100,000 a year at Princeton. ”

"You can never guess what a drunk man is thinking, especially when the person is Russian. Perhaps he felt that his daughter had a deposit, and if something happened to her, the money would be his. ”

"Hey, be careful when you speak, what do you say?"

"I'm sorry, I apologize......"

“……”

Eating lunch quietly, Lu Zhou automatically blocked out the sound of discussion next to him.

Sitting across from him with a plate, Schultz wanted to comfort him, but seeing his pensive expression, he finally dismissed the idea and just accompanied him through the silent lunch.

It wasn't until the end, seeing that Lu Zhou had finished eating, that he suddenly spoke.

"The word has spread on Mathoverflow...... I saw a picture posted by someone, you hit someone in the hospital? ”

Lu Zhou: "My driver's hand moves, and the other party's hand moves first." ”

Schultz: "It's better for you to explain. ”

"There's nothing to explain," wiping his mouth, Lu Zhou crumpled the paper towel into a ball and threw it into the trash, and stood up with the dinner plate, "There are so many boring people, I can't care about it." ”

It is impossible to expect that cancer, an academic problem that has accompanied human civilization for thousands of years, can be solved as easily as a mathematical problem.

However, for him, there are two options other than normal means.

After sending the dinner plate back, Lu Zhou did not stop in the restaurant for long, but went straight to the temporary office set up by the International Union of Mathematicians. The secretary general of the organizing committee should have gone to dinner, and no one is here, but his assistant is on duty here.

Seeing that the person knocking on the door and coming in was Lu Zhou, the assistant who was eating a boxed lunch suddenly put down the tableware in his hand, took a tissue from the side, hurriedly wiped his mouth, and said with a smile on his face.

"Dear Professor Lu, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"You continue to eat, don't worry about me, I'm just coming over and asking," after a pause, Lu Zhou continued, "Is that whiteboard still in lecture hall No. 7?" ”

The assistant was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and replied.

"Still ...... After that incident, the lecture hall was temporarily suspended. ”

Lu Zhou: "Can you take me to see it?" ”

Hearing this request, the assistant's expression was a little embarrassed.

"The Secretary-General's intention is to close the site for the time being, and wait until the end of the briefing to communicate with the hotel about the incident...... If you're looking to see what's on the whiteboard, we've included it in the minutes, and I recommend you—"

Lu Zhou repeated, this time in a declarative tone.

"Take me to see it, your secretary general, I'll go and say hello afterwards."

The assistant hesitated, but finally nodded.

"Good...... Good. ”
